The 3 types of learning domain

COGNITIVE DOMAIN
What is cognitive domain?
-The cognitive domain refers to the mental proce
involved in acquiring and using knowledge. It invo
the ways in which individuals understand, process
remember, and apply information. The domain inc
both conscious and unconscious mental activities.
It also develop strategies to optimize learning and
promote cognitive growth.

tive processes

information
1 KNOWLEDGE
Recognize or recall informa-
tion
EVALUATION
- Judgement about the value of materials
and methods for given purposes. This domain
involves the highest level of cognitive process-
ing, where learners are required to carefully an-
alyze, compare, and evaluate ideas, concepts or
arguments

Example;
- Critical thinking, problem solving and de-
cision making.
SYNTHESIS
- Refers to the ability to combine various
pieces of information to form a coherent whole.
It enables individuals to generate new and in-
novative solutions to existing problems while
making informed decisions and forming well-
reasoned opinions.

Example;
- Creativity, critical thinking, problem solv-
ing and decision making.
ANALYSIS
- This involves a range of methods that are
used to investigate various mental processes. It
provide insights into the organization and func-
tioning of the human mind.These methods in-
clude introspection, observation, experiments,
and computer simulations, among others.

Example:
- study of memory and study of perceptio.
APPLICATION or APPLIED
- This is the practical aspect of cognitive
processes. Its refers to the used of knowledge
to solve specific problems or achieve particular
goals in various contest. It is crucial for improv-
ing performance and achieving success in vari-
ous fields.

Example;
- Solving crossword puzzles, performing
well on exams. Using cognitive therapy to treat
mental health disorders, problem solving in var-
ious fields, and performing everyday task.
COMPREHENSION
-Refers to the ability to understand or grasp
information and ideas presented to an individ-
ual. It plays a vital role in enhancing an individ-
ual’s knowledge and understanding of the
world around them.

Example:
- This encompasses a range of cognitive
processes such as attention, perception, mem-
ory, language processing, reasoning, and prob-
lem-solving skills.
KNOWLEDGE
- This is a complex concept that refers to
the acquisition and application of information,
skills, and competence through mental activi-
ties such as learning, reasoning, problem-solv-
ing, and perception.

Example:
- It involves mental activities such as un-
derstanding, analyzing, and synthesizing infor-
mation. The domain also includes the devel-
opment of individual mental structures that
store information and facilitate its retrieval.
AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
The affective domain describes learning
objectives that emphasize a feeling
tone, an emotion, or a degree of accep-
tance or rejection. Affective objectives
vary from simple attention to selected
phenomena to complex but internally
consistent qualities of character and
conscience.
Receiving is being aware of or
sensitive to the existence of cer-
tain ideas, material, or phenom-
ena and being willing to tolerate
them. Examples include: to differ-
entiate, to accept, to listen (for),
to respond to.
Responding is committed in some small
measure to the ideas, materials, or phe-
nomena involved by actively responding to
them. Examples are: to comply with, to fol-
low, to commend, to volunteer, to spend
leisure time in, to acclaim.
Organization: Organizes values into priori-
ties by contrasting different values, resolv-
ing conflicts between them, and creating
an unique value system. The emphasis is
on comparing, relating, and synthesizing
values. Examples: Recognizes the need for
balance between freedom and responsible
behavior.
Receiving is being aware of or sensitive
to the existence of certain ideas, material,
or phenomena and being willing to toler-
ate them. Examples include: to differenti-
ate, to accept, to listen (for), to respond to.
